Do the existence of SAHM impede professional women?

Choose your field wisely. Don't expect the nature of a job to change because you want to stop everything at 3:30pm to take the kids to piano and soccer.

Would you also tell men that if they plan to have children they should only choose a flexible job?

Yes I would.

There you go. Proof other women actually are most detrimental to other women. BTW, the worst bosses aren’t men with sah wives, it is never married women, or women who have their kids at the bottom of their priority list who love to penalize other women seeking flexibility for family reasons. I’ve found the men with sah wives actually seem to understand that taking care of kids and a household is important and time consuming work, and that others without a sah legitimately have a need for flexibility.

No the existence of SAHM does not impeded professional women.

An attitude that professional women cannot do a fantastic job because they don't have a milk maid at home catering to them, does.

Do you not know any ball-buster Mom professional women?? Great moms, great bosses, great at their careers. They can multi-task and run circles around any myopic ADHD professional men.

Sadly, I do no actually know any,

I agree 100%.

It's more detrimental to walk around feeling you're a victim of other people who are minding their own business. Moms at home harming you?

Uh, yes, as indicated above....

+1000. And when they go out on "maternity leave" and never come back; just f*cks it up for those of us that are working to dispel the suspicion of investment in young women. It's one of the most selfish and detrimental things a woman to do the workforce for the other women around them.

Don't blame the women for leaving an inflexible work place. Maybe if we had adequate time for maternity leave like every other civilized nation, women would be more inclined to return to their jobs.

The new moms aren't the problem, this country's backwards leave policies are the problem.

Victim, victim, whine whine. Look for a job with benefits that you want before you leave and complain about how they don't have the benefits you want. Or save up for what you want and realize it may never be enough. You do you. Others are going to do what is best for them. Your breeding doesn't matter in the long financial picture.[/quote]

Actually it does. America needs people married, and families created, and babies born. Otherwise our economic situation suffers. Your employer needs people to buy it's goods and services. The govt needs people to work and pay taxes, to pay for govt services like SS.

Without babies being made and breeding taking place, this country as we know it will die. The only solution would be to do like Canada and increase immigration.

Very, very few jobs *require* someone to be somewhere at a certain time. Transplant surgeons. I'm sure there are others. But this BS that women who want to work and be mothers hold other "professional" women back needs to go. I have zero patience for jobs that make up reasons why they have to be rigid.

I have zero patience for women who expect other people to do their work and put in time and hours because they have kids, but they still want the promotions for doing half the job and not well.

The reasons aren't made up just because you don't like them. The world does not revolve around you. If you want o to be at all your kids games, recitals and pto meetings choose a career that gives you that flexibility.

LOL-let me guess: you can't stand seeing women promoted when they're not working themselves to the bone like you do. Please. That's your choice. If I can do my work better than you can in less time, that's on you, not me. There are plenty of workplaces and career paths that *could* be more flexible than they are if employers would get their heads out of their asses.

Also: that you have zero patience for women but not men is telling. Misogynist to the core.

What it ocmes down to at the end of the day is, companies/employers don't really give a f*ck about your personal life. Cold maybe but true. So you need to figure that shit out of your own. A lot of professional women don't like that because they're married to man babies who are lazy and refuse to help out around the house. In their anger, they lash out at easy targets, like SAHMs who don't deal with this.

To that I say, oh well, you married him. You made your bed now lie in it. Either try to change him or kick his ass to the curb and find someone better.

But as usual, women would rather fight each other.

+1. Only a true misogynist would blame a woman for not returning to work six weeks post parting. Unbelievable. I had five months of leave and happily returned. At six weeks I would have told my employer to go F themselves.

You can't have it all, so one of you blames other women and another blames all husbands. But the reality is you're both psychos whining on the internet.

Lol? What, are you 8? I'm on this site to read up on and contribute a little about relationships with adults. Sometimes though, there's this juvenile crap where you're blaming the whole world for something or the other.

Grow up. Who cares if your life would be different if all husbands did all the housework so you can work 60 hours a week, or if the Earth was 10 million miles closer to the sun.

We don't. It isn't. You're not even married. Grow up. Maybe you'd get promoted at work.

I won’t work for men who have SAHMs. I’m an associate in biglaw with some control over who I will work for, and I just won’t do it.

This.

Things will never be fair. I've also worked places where single people were treated poorly and given a much higher workload because they didn't have families. No matter your family status, there are always disadvantages.
